Trump Administration to Review Role of Border Shelters in Immigration Policy

Nonprofit migrant shelters face scrutiny as incoming administration signals intentions to reshape border practices and funding.

President-elect Donald Trump's team plans to evaluate the role of nonprofit shelters at the U.S.-Mexico border, alleging they contribute to illegal immigration.
Nonprofits like Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley, which aid migrants with shelter, food, and legal help, rely heavily on federal funding, including $650 million last year.
Trump's border czar appointee, Tom Homan, has vowed to investigate whether these organizations facilitated what he calls a 'humanitarian crisis.'
Texas has already launched investigations into several migrant aid groups, though courts have largely dismissed state efforts to shut them down.
Immigration advocates and local officials warn that cutting shelter support could overwhelm border communities already struggling with limited resources.
